IMPROVING THE LEARNERS’ MACRO SKILLS

IN THE USE OF LANGUAGE AND COMPETENCY

In learning, there are four macro skills that we must deal with in order to
communicate effectively. Macro skills refer to the primary, key, main, and largest skill
set relative to a particular context. It is commonly referred to in English language. The
four macro skills are reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Each skill has its reasons
of why we should be knowledgeable on how to communicate using the four macro
skills.

The objective of this language program is to offer a proposal for the teaching of
the four useful macro skills in all the language courses of North Luzon Philippines State
College. The main aim of the proposal is to teach the macro skills and its usage
according to new approaches and to motivating strategies.

These skills are essential for communicating. It is tough to study a balance of the
four macro skills which are writing, reading, writing, and listening. Being good at only
one of these communicative skills will not help us smooth away the difficulties in
communicating. With these four macro skills and with the help of this program, it can
make a big difference in your work place in social situations and personal achievements.
Learning and consistently seeking to improve these macro skills are important for
effective communication and to be successful in many different perspectives.
